At 80 years old, NEA Jazz Master Charles Lloyd remains an intrepid musical pioneer, entering his ninth decade at a creative peak in what now stands as a mountainous and formidable career. With his newest band The Marvels — a guitar-driven group featuring Bill Frisell, Greg Leisz, Reuben Rogers, and Eric Harland — Lloyd released the 2016 album I Long To See You which NPR called "music that evokes an uncommon state of grace."
